Approach
Principles I work by
Litigation-led thinking
Advice is shaped by how a dispute will actually be argued. That discipline helps just as much before a case is filed as after.
Plain language
Clients get a clear view of options, risks and likely timelines, without legal jargon.
Business-aware advice
Advice is practical: realistic options, sensible timelines and attention to the commercial consequences of each course.
Process
How we work
Three steps, in plain terms, from the first message to the hearing.
Understand
Share the facts and the documents you hold, by WhatsApp, phone or at the office on Mission Road. You get a frank first view of your options, the risks and the likely timeline.
Plan
A clear strategy on forum, remedy, documents needed, timelines and fees, agreed with you before anything is filed.
Act
Drafting, filing and appearance before the court or tribunal, with regular updates, and a view on settlement wherever it makes sense.
